We had a great stay at the property. It is in a great, secluded location. We hiked in the area and it was a short trip into town if we needed anything. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. A great place for family or friends to stay. We look forward to visiting again in the summer! ##### Chantelle M.

Our family swam, used the paddle board, had great bbq meals and slept so comfortably in the air conditioned rooms. The little touches are amazing such as providing fishing rods, bug spray and games. The host is very responsive with any questions we had prior to our stay. We loved hearing the loons in the morning and the hummingbirds, we would definitely come back again next year. ##### Heather C.

We just got back from our week at the cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5\. We all needed the down time and the time together just us and this cottage provided that. The quiet and the views were spectacular. We had the whole lake to ourselves! Sunsets are breathtaking. The cottage was clean and has everything you would need and the hosts are very responsive. We always rent cottages but this is the first time I said I would want to come back to this one. ##### Lili S.

Happened twice during our three night stay All our clothes smelled and we decided to leave after the third night. Maybe it needs a deep cleaning after their busy summer season. ##### Matthew K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene L. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic getaway Overall, this listing was exactly what was expected. It is a more rustic cottage that has some good upgrades. It’s a work in progress but offers a comfortable space and very comfortable beds in a quiet location. The air-conditioning units were appreciated, especially during very hot weather, but we’re a little noisy. Luckily, we were able to turn them off when going to bed as there is a nice breeze at night. The deck off the main room was exceptional. It sits high off the ground and hence gets a nice breeze, and importantly, the substantial number of deer flies (to be expected) do not bother anyone. It has a beautiful view of the sunset. It is sufficiently shaded throughout the day that you can sit out there almost all day long. And the variety of birds and their songs were absolutely charming! The only negative for us was that there was a bit of a steep hill down to the beach. Well, not normally problematic, with a more elderly person in our party, as well as someone with a knee injury, it made it a bit difficult to get there. The host was very responsive to questions asked. On average, she answered our questions within a few minutes. Her responsiveness was very much appreciated ##### Charlene L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy L. 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely inside and out! The 5 Acre Woods property was exactly as described and more. The property is very private due to the large lot and the many trees. Exactly what we were looking for. I loved that we could enjoy a wood fire both inside in the wood stove and outside in the fire pit. The inside has been updated and is very comfortable for a cooler rainy day if you don’t want to venture outside. But the outside is where the property really shines. Two decks and two balconies allow for everyone to get a great view of lakefront or woods. The first evening we were greeted by a flock of wild turkeys. And they visited us several times during our stay. We also saw turkey vultures and many chipmunks and squirrels. Walking through the woods was my favourite part. The terrain is so interesting. Mossy rocks and boulders and such a variety of trees and marshy areas too. And at night the lake is just gorgeous with the stars reflected in it like a mirror. Chandra was very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our trip. And there were many thoughtful touches that made the trip enjoyable from all the small appliances available in the kitchen to the soap/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. Games and puzzles too. Also providing info on side trips like Petroglyphs Provincial Park which we also enjoyed. We had a great time a look forward to a repeat visit in the future. ##### Cathy L.

The beds were super comfy and the AC appreciated on a few very hot nights. The upper deck facing the lake was a wonderful spot to hang out for meals and afternoon drinks. As the lake is fairly shallow is was already warm enough for swimming in early July. Anti-gravity chairs allowed for napping at the dock. Thanks - we had a great rime ##### Karen S.

Cottage was a perfect space for my family which included 2 couples a single person and the family dog. No complaints whatsoever!! We swam, kayaked and watched the family of Loons everyday. We all had a great time. We will be returning next year for sure!! ##### Sandra G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Y. 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private paradise on the lake I had three main criteria when looking for a vacation rental: 1\. pet friendly; 2\. on a lake; and 3\. private with few or no neighboring properties. This cottage provided all three. We enjoyed our time down on the dock and on the water, as well as sitting on the deck listening to the Loons and watching the beautiful sunsets. We left the cottage only a few days to make a quick trip into Havelock to pick up some items we forgot or ran out of. Every person we met in town was friendly and welcoming. I wish we had been able to extend our stay so we could explore the surrounding area we originally planned. Chandra was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to my questions. ##### Amy Y.

My partner and I were looking for a quiet nature retreat where we could forget about city life and work, and this place fit the bill nicely. We were a bit reluctant at first due to the distance, but luckily I enjoy driving and the 7 and it’s little towns is always a pleasant route. The cottage was great. A cute mix of modern furnishings with some mid-century flair thrown in to give it that country feel. We spent a lot of time on the main deck, enjoying the views of the lake, the many loons, and the variety of birds visiting the bird feeder. We brought our kayaks and had a few paddles around the lake, which is small but very quiet. We didn’t see a soul our entire week’s stay! We were lacking nothing when it came to amenities! Modern kitchen with everything we needed, big screen TV with internet, nice big couch to chill on, even some smores and wine! The odd hiccup we had during our stay we resolved without issue, and the host was quick to respond promptly to all questions. Nature was mostly kind to us, as the forecast was originally calling for rain most of the week, but it changed and we only had rain for 1.5 days. The one downside were the bugs, but welcome to rural Canada in July. LOL. The provided A/C units in the bedrooms were a nice relief against the few nights of heat, but were mostly not needed with the plentiful windows to open for cross-breeze. With Havelock being only minutes away, it was a convenient spot to pop in for any missing items, or just to get in your Pokemon Go fix. 😉 FYI, Woody’s buger’s are amazing! And they have glutten free buns for those in need. All-in-all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this wonderful little gem to anyone. ##### Mike G.

Close to Havelock for any forgotten items, lots of options for enjoying the quiet - multiple decks, dock, fire pit, hammock or floating on the lake. Only a few cottages so always good for a tranquil paddle. Highly recommended. ##### Matthew M.
